The Good Life - Shirley Horn

It’s the good life, full of fun, seems to be the ideal,

Yes, the good life, lest you hide all the sadness you feel,

You won’t really fall in love 'cause you can’t take the chance,

So be honest with yourself, don’t try to fake romance.

Yes, the good life, to be free and explore the unknown,

Like the heartache when you learn you must face them alone,

Please remember I still want you and in case you wonder why,

Well, just wake up, kiss that good life goodbye.

Please remember I still want you and in case you wonder why,

Well, just wake up, kiss that good life goodbye.
